Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 137 Sweet Potato Feast

Although I am glad that the two can become gay friends, there is one thing that needs to be counted!

Xue Lang said: "Su Han, why did you climb over the wall again? Do you know it's wrong for you to do this? I'll give you a bowl of braised noodles so that you won't lose your memory!"

Su Han let out a strange cry, and his tone was extremely miserable: "Why did Xue Zhiyi treat me like this? Don't do this. Detaining my braised noodles is no different from killing me!"

Xue Lang laughed out loud at what he said.Jiang Lin was dumbfounded——

A good friend, how can you say that it has changed?If it weren't for the signature paralyzed face, I really wonder if it's a ghost!

Xue Lang imitated Su Han's expressionless expression: "I have already told you not to climb over the wall. It is useless to say so many times. If you want to deduct your favorite food once, you should remember it! Come on, let's use our favorite food." I swear by the food, if you climb over the wall again, you will get delicious food! Turn over once and get one bowl, turn twice and get three bowls, and after three times, you won’t have to eat!"

Su Han's tone was very pitiful, his shoulders shrunk: "Can't Xue Zhiyi be accommodating?"

Xue Lang said unwaveringly, "No!"

Su Han's tone was very regretful: "Why are you so cruel?"

Xue Lang looked at him and spread his hands.Su Han didn't want to say anything to Xue Lang, knowing that Xue Lang had already made up his mind and couldn't change it, so he could only agree aggrievedly.

Xue Lang was so wronged that he couldn't help complaining: "You like to climb over the wall so much? Look at your grievance."

Su Han sighed, and said: "It's not that I like to climb over the wall, but it's delicious and tempting. Climbing over the wall is a shortcut. In order to enjoy the food cooked by Xiu Niang earlier, it's a waste of time to take a detour through the main entrance. It's better to go over the wall." Wall faster!"

Xue Lang: "..."

Xue Lang didn't want to talk anymore!Jiang Lin laughed out loud, he seemed to have recovered, and accepted his new friend without any pressure .

Su Han was warned and ordered to prepare a meal.There are three meals a day in Tingfengyuan, this meal is considered early, but Changjian and the others are used to calling it Chaoshi.

When eating, they still followed the food sharing system that people in the Tang Dynasty were used to, but Xue Lang and Jiang Lin, who didn't like to sit on their knees, each had a small stool under their buttocks.During the period when Su Han came to eat, he tried it out, and immediately asked Xue Lang for a small stool.

Su Han’s stewed noodles, Jiang Lin’s millet porridge, and salted duck eggs, Xue Lang only drank a small bowl of millet porridge to fill his stomach. There is still a lot of work waiting for him to do, and he has to make sweet potatoes for the princess banquet.

Putting the noodles on, Su Han held the chopsticks, took a breath, and then sighed in satisfaction: "Lu noodles, Lu noodles, Su has been thinking about you all night, and finally I ate it! Which is better, food or over the wall?" Is it important? Food is the most important thing!"

After sighing, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite. The mouthful was full of aroma, Su Han nodded again, deeply feeling that his choice was really correct.

Jiang Lin laughed straight at the sight, and almost burst out laughing at the millet porridge he was holding. Fortunately, he is strong and strong.Xue Lang smiled and shook his head, regardless of these two treasures, he finished his porridge on his own, put down the bowl, and said, "I promise to make a sweet potato feast for Her Royal Highness today, you continue to eat, I'm busy!"

"Well, big brother has worked hard, you need to call me for help."

This is Jiang Lin, Su Han focused on his face, and bowed his hands to Xue Lang meaningfully.

Xue Lang was speechless.But I also understand them. These days, the recipes are unique, and it would be rude to help them casually.Jiang Lin and Su Han were very conscious.

Xue Lang went directly to the kitchen, picked up some sweet potatoes, asked Xiu Niang to peel them, and then pounded them into mashed sweet potatoes. Xue Lang himself took out the sweet potato flour that Ah Chen had ground and dried yesterday, added hot water, and started to cook. Vermicelli.

Xue Lang had already figured it out. The staple food was to make sweet potato cakes and sweet potato cakes for Her Royal Highness. One was fried and the other was steamed. Finally, cook a soup with fresh vegetables and vermicelli.

There are hot and cold, meat and vegetables, soup and vegetables. If you feel that it is not complete enough, you can add a sweet potato in syrup for dessert.The sweet potato balls with bean paste on the bread are perfect!Xue Lang nodded in satisfaction, directed Xiu Niang, and sometimes helped himself, let's start!
Make the sweet potato vermicelli first, put it aside for later use, fry it last, and cook other dishes first.The trouble is mostly the prep work, the actual cooking, which is actually pretty quick.

Given a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, Xue Lang made a lot of dishes, but still only consumed a little.Ask people to put the remaining sweet potatoes into the cellar to check the time, and ask Changjian to ask His Royal Highness the Princess to see when the meal will be served.

Her Royal Highness was already waiting, and when she heard that the meal could be served, she naturally ordered it to be served quickly.

The job of setting meals is naturally handed over to the servants, not only the servants in Tingfeng Courtyard, but also the servants from the princess. Each of them has a food box, and they almost trot to the place with the vegetables. Fortunately, they did not In winter, otherwise, these servants would have to run faster in order to keep the vegetables warm.

Xue Lang didn't have to run as fast as the servants, he walked over contentedly, and saw that besides Her Royal Highness, there were Han Jin, Miss Liu, Ma Sanbao, and Xue Lang in the main hall, exactly five people.Fortunately, there are too many dishes, so I am not afraid of not having enough food.

After meeting each other, Xue Lang sat down in his seat, watched the servants serve the dishes, and said loudly when the dishes were served, "The time is short and the preparations are simple. There are only a few dishes. Your Highness, please taste them with your colleagues."

Princess Pingyang picked up the chopsticks, but did not put them down in a hurry, but asked Xue Lang: "Can Youyang introduce this dish to me?"

"Here."

Xue Lang stood up and began to introduce: "Sweet potato cakes and sweet potato cakes for staple food, as well as croquettes and shredded sweet potatoes for cooking, these four are all made of fresh sweet potatoes. There is a small bowl on the table. In cold water, the shredded sweet potatoes are very hot because the syrup needs high temperature to melt, so rinse it in clean water before eating, so that it is easy to eat."

Everyone turned their eyes to the small bowl on the table, Ma Sanbao suddenly said: "This bowl of water was originally used here, and I thought it was for me to rinse my mouth."

Everyone laughed.Xue Lang continued: "In fact, the food that can be made with fresh sweet potatoes is not limited to this. There will be good cooks to cook and prepare. I will focus on these few, minced meat vermicelli, fried potato vermicelli, cold vermicelli and stewed Vermicelli."

Princess Pingyang understood immediately after hearing it: "What Youyang wants to focus on is this thing called vermicelli?"

Xue Lang nodded and said: "This is the vermicelli. It is made of sweet potato flour. After the sweet potato is harvested every year, if there is a cellar and the temperature is not high, it can naturally be stored in the cellar. If it is in the warm south, what should I do?" What about preservation? Just make this vermicelli! Vermicelli is easy to make and very easy to preserve, as long as it is not soaked in water, it can be preserved almost year to year, just like dried vermicelli.”

When the princess heard it, she immediately understood: "So, what Youyang means is that compared to directly storing the harvested sweet potatoes, making vermicelli is easier to store and can be used in more places?"

It's easy to talk to smart people, Xue Lang nodded: "Exactly! In fact, it doesn't have to be made into vermicelli. It is also okay to make sweet potato noodles into sweet potato noodles. However, sweet potato noodles need to be preserved more carefully than sweet potato vermicelli. "

Nv Liu said: "In this way, sweet potatoes can be made into grain, and the disadvantages with wheat and chestnut rice will be gone!"

Xue Lang nodded again.

Han Jin asked: "Only Xue Zhiyi understands the method of making sweet potato flour or vermicelli. How to spread it? It is a problem!"

Before Xue Lang could speak, Princess Pingyang said: "This is what will happen after the court envoy arrives. With Youyang as a thoughtful person, you already have a plan in mind?"

Xue Lang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Highness is wise."
